Example. One-Way Slab Design. A Reinforced Concrete Slab Is Built Integrally With Its Supports

The document summarizes the one-way slab design for a reinforced concrete slab with two equal 15 foot spans. It estimates the slab thickness at 6.5 inches based on code minimums. It then calculates the factored live and dead loads and resulting total load. Using code coefficients, it calculates the design moments at various critical sections, with the maximum negative moment of 7.06 foot-kips occurring at the interior support. This maximum moment determines the minimum required effective depth.

Example. One-way slab design.

A reinforced concrete slab is built integrally with its supports and consists of two equal spans, each with a clear span of 15 ft. The service live load is 116 psf and 4000 psi concrete is specified for use with steel of yield stress equal to 60,000 psi. Design the slab, following the provisions of the ACI Code. Solution. The thickness of the slab is first estimated, based on the minimum thickness of Table 1 we have

l 15 12 = = 6.43 in 28 28
A trial thickness of 6.50 in will be used, for which the weight is 150 x 6.50 / 12 = 81 psf. The specified live load and computed dead load are multiplied by the ACI load factors:

Dead load = 81 1.2 =


Live load = 116 1.6 = Total =

97.2 185.6 283 psf

psf psf

For this case, design moments at critical sections may be found using the ACI moment coefficients: At interior support: At midspan: At exterior support: M = +M = M =

1 (0.238)(15) 2 9 1 (0.238)(15) 2 14 1 (0.238)(15) 2 24

= = =

7.06 4.53 2.65

ftkips ftkips ftkips

If that maximum value of steel ratio were actually used to make sure tension failure, the minimum required effective depth, controlled by negative moment at the interior support.
